1) Added ODBC version of underlying Database API - optional at link time
2) Added parameter binding

------------
1) Added call to dbd_st_finish to dbd_st_fetch to set the Active flag to

defined functions. Primarily to allow values for number of rows
affected by SQL statements to be returned correctly.
